ALEX'S POV
I drove Susie’s car straight to Aaron’s house. Sweat trickled down my forehead and my hands trembled slightly as I rang the bell. Alice opened the door and let me in. Her face bore a pained expression and her eyes were baggy due to crying. I wondered what Mrs. Lockhart’s condition might be.
“ Alex, my dear, long time no see. Didn’t you miss Aunt Linda?” She asked getting up to welcome me. Surprisingly, she looked perfectly normal. Had Aaron managed to stop Eva before she told Aunt Linda?
EVA'S POVI paced in my room all day but Alex didn’t return. I must have called him at least a hundred times but he didn’t pick up my call. I was on the verge of a breakdown when Susie came to check on me.I can’t describe how light I felt after rambling everything to her. “ What should I do Susie? I just wanted to make everything right&n
ALEX'S POVI was so happy today. The lake and the garden had turned out exactly as I had planned. I sat on the swing admiring its beauty for a while. My body ached like I had been beaten with a rod. I stretched myself in an attempt to get some relief from some pain. From the past seven days, I had worked from dawn to dusk to complete the work. Though I missed Eva a lot,
EVA'S POVMy head throbbed like hell as I tried to open my eyes. The bright sunlight streaming in from the window caused me to flinch. I shielded my eyes with my hand. Someone drew the curtains and turned the lights on. I rubbed my eyes and tried to open them again. When I finally managed to open my eyes I was pleasantly surprised to see Alex. The joy I felt was so intense that it hurt. I open
ALEX'S POVEva stuck to me the whole day like a koala. I found it very cute, but it was impertinent that I got out of here, else my surprise would be ruined. I wanted everything to be perfect.Finally, I had to message Melisa to come and get me out of Susie’s house. The moment Melisa and Athena arrived I sneaked out bef
EVA'S POVI felt that being in Alex’s arms in front of our mini Amor lake was the best thing that could happen in my life but I was wrong. There would be many more magical moments like this in my life.Alex took out a red ribbon and blindfolded me suddenly.“ Hey! What are you doing.” I muttered in protest.
ALEX's POV“Where have you been Alex? Mother Lily is waiting for you in the Common hall.” I heard Zarina’s sweet and shrill voice as soon as I got out of the study room.“ Mother Lily is here! Why didn’t you tell me earlier?” I started walking towards the hall but Zarina’s comment stopped me in my tracks.“ Go get dressed first Alex. You are still in your pajamas.”“ Do I have to?” I said with a groan. I never understood all this ado about dressing up.“Of course not. I wouldn’t mind some excitement.”Zarina’s eyes shone with mischief as she said this. I loved her like my sister but she was known for being mischievous. It was best that I got dressed.I gathered my clothes and went to the common shower room for boys. It was nothing much. Just the type you would find in hostels. Two rows of cabins with no much furnishing apart from
EVA's POVI roamed around the forest glad that the silly humans kept out of the forest. So I could move about at my own pace without worrying about shocking someone. I finished running the perimeter of the forest in a few minutes.I wished that I could go further but Emily had strictly forbidden it.I sat there idly on the rock. Suddenly a tempting smell assaulted me. There was no doubt that it was a human being. What was a human doing in this forest? Did he not fear for his life?I had to ensure that he never came back to this forest again. I would have fun scaring him to death. I followed the trail and reached behind the human in moments. I intended to push him down but this human was more aware of his surroundings than I thought. He sensed my presence and turned around. I moved away before he could even turn fully but that is not the point.I let out a gasp when I saw his face. It was Audrey. How was that possible? He had died 500
ALEX's POVThe sweet twittering of the birds pulled me out of my deep slumber. I felt so cozy and serene. I sat up and stretched my arms. Taking my surroundings in, I realized that I was in my hostel room. Last night I was so tired that I couldn’t appreciate my room.The walls were newly painted unlike my room in the orphanage which had the same whitewash since the time I had come to live. The bed here was soft and cozy. I had a wardrobe all to myself but the irony was that my clothes didn’t even take up a shelf. The room even had a study table with a pre-set computer.How did I get so lucky?The room was undoubtedly grand as per my standards but I was more grateful for the peace and quiet the room offered. In the orphanage I slept with 20 other boys. The mornings were utter chaos with everyone trying to get ready. This was the reason I always stayed up at night and studied and slept at daybreak.Though I liked that it
